Abstract

In a housing (10) which can be accommodated in an installation socket, the installation unit contains an interface which is connected to a databus line (32). A connecting device (33) is used for the connection of the databus line (32) to the interface, which connecting device (33) consists of a block (34) which can be connected via contact elements (37) to the housing and has connecting elements (35, 36) for the connection of the incoming databus line and for the connection of a plurality of databus lines. If the interface has to be replaced, the connecting device (33) can be separated from the housing (10) and the housing (10) can be removed without having to interrupt the databus connection to the other interfaces. <IMAGE>
